By Admin On Feb 24, 2024

Slovenian Timi Zajc won the Ski Jumping World Cup competition on the ski jumping hill in Oberstdorf. The best Pole was Kamil Stoch, who performed very well in both attempts and finished the competition in 12th place. Saturday’s jumping clearly brought a lot of joy to our champion.

Saturday’s competition took place in fairly stable wind conditions, which allowed the competition to be held fairly. Initially, the jumpers started from the 19th starting beam, but over time it was changed to the 21st, and in the second series to the 23rd.

POLES WITH CHANGING LUCK IN OBERSTDORF

Four Poles confidently passed the qualifications : Aleksander Zniszczoł, Kamil Stoch, Piotr Żyła and Dawid Kubacki. However, they did slightly worse in the competition than a few hours earlier.

The Poles moved in a row, one by one. Stoch was the first to start the competition . He was 14th in qualifying, but did not repeat such a good attempt. The three-time Olympic champion jumped in poor conditions, for which he received 16.8 points in compensation for the wind. He landed on the 204th meter and received a score of 187.6 points. He had no problem advancing, and before the final he was 21st.

Żyła, who performed very well in Friday’s duet competition, raised great hopes among the fans. The day after, he certainly could have done better. The Wiślanski achieved 203.5 meters, but he did not receive high marks or significant compensation. The total score of 179.2 points allowed him to take 26th place.

Unfortunately, Kubacki completely failed . The experienced player was definitely late in taking off, he tried to save himself, but he was immediately pulled down. A distance of 177 meters and terrible results pushed him to the very end of the pack. Score 143.8 points – it was a real nightmare.
